Playing at the 82,955 capacity
San Siro which they share with bitter rivals InterMilan. The
Rossoneri (The redblacks) were founded in 1899
For all of their glittering history,
they would be brought down to earth with more than a bump for
one of the most imfamous stories in Italian football.
They were found guilty and penalised
for their part in the 2006 Seria A match fixing scandal along
with Lazio, Juventus and Fiorentina. After being orignally relegated
to the 2nd division and kicked out of the champions league they
were later re-instated to the champions league (which Ironically
they won that season) and got off with just a heavy points deduction
and fine to start the following season.
With the recent addition of Brazilian
wizard Ronaldhino and the return of the beloved Andrei Schevchenko,
they now pose a real threat to crack the recent dominance of
their 'roommates' Inter.
Footballing greats such as former World footballer of the year
George Weah, Roberto Baggio, Marco Simone Cesare Maldini are
just some of the few that have pulled on the black and red stripes
of the Rossoneri.
